Raspberry Almond Clafouti Recipe

A clafouti is a lovely French dessert consisting of fruit with a batter poured over it; it is then baked, and puffs up. Purists insist that cherries with the stones still in them must be used in a proper clafouti. However, over the years other fruits have been used, and the results are spectacular, as in this delicious raspberry almond version. Besides, with raspberries, there is no real danger of breaking a tooth.
The texture of this clafouti is a cross between a custard and a very thick crepe; it is soft and fruity. Generally clafoutis are served warm, so it’s important to have yours baking while guests or family are eating the main meal. This clafouti is ideal for Valentine’s Day, as it is quite romantic-looking especially when baked in a heart-shaped dish.
